學(xué)英語一開始要學(xué)發(fā)音.學(xué)發(fā)音,可以用KK音標(biāo)和自然發(fā)音來學(xué)習(xí).美國(guó)英語有五十個(gè)音素,其中元音21個(gè),輔音29個(gè).美國(guó)英語字母共有26個(gè),其中五個(gè)元音字母a、e、i、o、u,二十一個(gè)輔音字母,其中y字母有時(shí)當(dāng)元音字母用.每個(gè)字母可以有一個(gè)或一個(gè)以上的讀音,所以,英語語音共有五十個(gè)音位,一般用KK音標(biāo)和Phonics來標(biāo)音.

在輔音字母w、字母組合wh之后,a常常要發(fā)短元音o,但是有例外,如wax.
中元音u ur schwa
u sun umbrella cup bus nut gun uncle under
er mermaid
ir birthday circus dirty bird circle dirt girl
ur turtle surfing turkey fur hurt purse nurse
一般來說,在非重讀音節(jié)中,五個(gè)元音字母都會(huì)弱讀作schwa,KK音標(biāo)為/ə/.

任何一個(gè)字,里面一定會(huì)有一個(gè)元音,元音前面的輔音可以和元音拼起來念,形成一個(gè)音節(jié).如果一個(gè)字里有幾個(gè)元音,則有兩個(gè)音節(jié).
只有a這個(gè)字母可能發(fā)a的音,也就是聽到a這個(gè)聲音馬上可以寫出a的字母.
e和ea都可以發(fā)e的音,但是ea在大多數(shù)情況下發(fā)的是長(zhǎng)元音ee.
i和y可以發(fā)i的音.
o和a可以發(fā)o的音.a主要出現(xiàn)在w、wh之后.
u、o、ou、oo可以發(fā)短元音u.
在重讀相對(duì)開音節(jié)中（元音字母后面緊接一個(gè)輔音字母和一個(gè)不發(fā)音的元音字母e）時(shí),元音字母都要念成長(zhǎng)元音,但有時(shí)o這個(gè)字母在重讀相對(duì)開音節(jié)里卻發(fā)短元音u.
鼻音n（還有m、ng、l）稱為響輔音,它是美國(guó)英語中最長(zhǎng)的輔音.
當(dāng)元音字母u處在非重讀音節(jié)詞尾（無輔音）時(shí),仍然讀u-e.
元音字母是這個(gè)重讀音節(jié)的最后一個(gè)字母,這個(gè)元音字母處于重讀開音節(jié)中,讀元音字母的長(zhǎng)元音：a-e、ee、i-e、o-e、u-e.
元音字母后面緊接著一個(gè)或幾個(gè)輔音字母,這個(gè)元音字母處于重讀閉音節(jié)中,讀元音字母的短元音：a、e、i、o、u.
ei、ey和ea在少數(shù)字中,可能發(fā)a-e的音：eight they great
a可能發(fā)e、o、aw的音,如：any what water
ee、ea、ei、ie、e都可能發(fā)ee的音.
o可能發(fā)oo、i、u的音：woman women mother son
ere可能發(fā)air的音：there where
字首（確定字根的方向或限定字根的意義）一般不重讀,多音節(jié)字的重音一般都落在倒數(shù)第三個(gè)音節(jié)上面.
